INSTALLATION
AUDIO
The analog audio connectors are standard XLR connectors. The two stereo ports can be played in stereo (2 stereo
ports), all mono (4 mono ports) or mixed (1 port stereo and the other 2 mono channels). Please refer to the AMR-100I
manual for a full discussion on the use of ports.

Port 1 Port 2
The audio ports do not need to be connected in order to transfer files from the AMR-100I to your computer playback
system.
POWER
After connecting the Audio, you can connect the AC. When you plug in the power cord, the light on the front will
light and the unit will begin its power up sequence and initialization process. This takes about 20 seconds.
Remember, the power light on the front panel just indicates power and is not a switch.
After the receiver has finishing booting, set the IP address of the receiver and connect the Ethernet cable.
ETHERNET CABLE
Plug in the Ethernet cable in the RJ-45 connection on the back of the unit.
After a short while, the status indicators will change to black with clear
text indicating a successful connection to the Internet and the Amb-OS
servers. This could take up to twenty minutes, but pressing the reset switch on the
back of the AMR-100 causes the receiver to communicate immediately to the AMB-OS receivers.
NOTE
This document summarizes the installation of the AMR-100. For the complete
instructions on installing the AMR-100I, refer to the AMR-100 installation manual.
ETHERNET
After the receiver finishes booting, the two status indicators (Lan and Inet) will be clear (no LAN or Internet
connection). After setting the IP address and connecting the Ethernet cable, they become dark after establishing a
connection to the Amb-OS servers.
It is highly recommended to use a static IP address rather than DHCP to improve transfer reliability. The AMR-
100I comes with DHCP set as the default to avoid having an IP address conflict on the network.
When assigning a static IP address, be sure to pick an IP address outside of the DHCP address pool, which can be
provided by the Network Administrator.
When entering IP addresses, all three digits in each section must be used. Thus an address of 192.168.1.10, must
be entered as 192.168.001.010 for a correct entry.
Make sure the network used with the AMR-100I has Internet connectivity or the unit will not receive programs.
Using DHCP does not require changing the IP address settings. Plug in the Ethernet cable (see below) to connect to
the Internet and network. If using a static IP address, set the IP address before plugging in the Ethernet cable.
SETTING THE IP ADDRESS
1. Press [ENTER] and to get to the menu bar
2. Press [ENTER] to modify the settings.
3. If DHCP is not on the screen, press the [DOWN] arrow to
highlight “IP addr: ####.####.####.####” and go to step #8
4. If DHCP is on the screen, press the [DOWN] arrow to highlight
Setup Date
Firmware: 2.36
Serial No: 2001000
IP Addr: 192.168.001.150
Clock Interval
“IP Addr: DHCP”
5. Press [ENTER] to modify the DHCP setting
6. Press [ENTER] to select “No”
7. Press [BACK] to save that setting – “IP addr: ####.####.####.####” should be highlighted, but if not, press
the [DOWN] arrow to highlight “IP ####.####.####.####”
8. Press [ENTER] to change the IP address
9. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow to set the first digit
10. Press [ENTER] to move to the next digit
11. Repeat steps #10 and #11 for each digit. Pressing [BACK] returns
to the previous digit
12. After setting the last digit of the IP address, press [ENTER] to save
the IP address and exit
Setup Date
DHCP: No
IP Addr: 192.168.001.150
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
13. Press the [DOWN] arrow to highlight “Gateway” if the address needs to be changed or skip to step #16
14. Press [ENTER] to modify the Netmask setting
15. Use the method described in steps #9 to #12 above to enter the gateway IP address
16. Press the [DOWN] arrow to highlight “Netmask” if the default (255.255.255.0) needs to be changed or skip to
step #19
17. Press [ENTER] to change the Netmask address
18. Use the method described in steps #9 to #12 above to enter the Netmask setting
19. Press [BACK] to save the changes.
20. Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the AMR-100 if not already connected.
WARNING
The IP address, gateway and netmask are for illustrative purposes only! Each
network may require different values. Consult the network administrator for
the correct values.
